Description

The main line here was a double track. In its original layout the Peebles line diverged as a double track quickly reducing to a single track (with possibly sufficient length to hold a train on the westbound track without fouling the junction). This later became a single lead with a crossover.

A two arch bridge crosses over the site, the southern arch crossing the branch and northern the main line.

The signal box here was closed in 1937 to be replaced by a central new box at the north end of Galashiels [1st] station (although the base was retained presumably as a switch room).

The branch closed in 1962 and mainline in 1969. The trackbed remained as an overgrown walking route until 2015 when the main line re-opened as a single track.
